The report Of the bureau of statistics
shows a continued importation of gold,
and for the two mounths, ending Octo-
Der !, the aggregate receipts of gold
from Europe were $50, 100000, SO that at
the present time, Notwithstanding the
amount paid for bonds, the gold in the
u. 5. Treasury is reported at $500 ,000,-
600, which is the largest amount ever
held within the treasury walls, and in
this connection it may be also said that
it is the largest amoun of gold held by
any national treasury in the world; and is
about three times the amount held by
the bank Of England which is generally
looked upon us one of the largest and
most substantial financial institutions
in the world. |, may also be stated in
this connection that during the time OF
this accumulation of gold in our national
treasury there has been coined 2,000,-
600 silver dollars every month.
A review of the statistics of the past
shows that the influx of gold has turned
toward this country ever since the
reconciliation of silver. 1t may be
only a coincidence, but as it was claimed
by a large number ofso-called finaneiers
that the coinage of silver would drive
gold from the country, it may be safe to
assert that they were entirely mistaken.
and II is just as reasonable to conclude
the coinage Of the minimum amount of
silver authorized by law, has been the
cause of this incoming tide Of gold from
the treasures of every nation. Hence
an increase in the coinage of silver
dollars would naturally increase the
store of gold in orr country. The
assumption, at least, would be as just
and reasonable as the contrary which
has been so diligently and st~renuously
urged by the treasury officials and bank
associations under the influences of Wall
street. The continuance of the steady
movement of gold in this direction is,
at least, sufficient to prove the utter
absurdity of the chief argument which
has been made against the use of silver
as currercy.-Chicago Mining Revew.

Water, awaiting The action of congrc :.
There is no doubt that these lines would
be extended westward promptly upon
the settlement Of the reservation
question, opening up great country to
settlement and establishing valuable
communication with the rich mineral
regions and stock ranges of the west.
The opening Of the reservation Mould
give a wonderful impetus to the Black
Hills country, and to all that portion
Of Dakota lying to the eastward, adding
immensely to the population and bust
ness of southern Dakota. The Black
Hills country would ca rly be supplied
with the railroad facilities required TO
develop its great resources, while Pierre
and Chamberlain particularly, would
have such Blooms as they have never
known before. The lines Of communi
cation would speedily extend westward
from the Missouri river in all directions,
reaching into Montana, Idaho and
Washington territories in fact, opening
=
a great middle between the Union Pacific
and the Northern Pacific between the
Pacific coast and the Missouri river.
Sioux City has reason to be something
more than an interested spectator.
Sioux City should cooperate to the
extent of its influence and power to
secure the end for which ito friends in
Dakota are SO earnestly striving. The
opening Of the reservation and the
extension Of the roads westward from the
Missouri river car only mean a wonder
full enlargement of the trade territory OF
Sioux City. The Journal is glad to
call the attention Of the Sioux City Job
bers' and Manufacturers association 10
that work, and to invite it to join hands
with the good people of Dakota in fur.

HEALTH HINTS.
SOME SUGGESTIONS REGARDING THE
TREATMENT OF COUGHS, AND


pNib ptR' AD~ND
TREATMENT OF COUGHS, n
CoLD:, WORTH REMEMBERING.
A cough is usually the symptom OF
some disease, the character OF the
cough denotes the nature of the disease.
A cough should never be suppressed
but the desease cured, then the cough
will stop OF itself. The most common
disease hat causes coughing, Is a colo.
When a person takes cold, many OK the
air cells of the lungs become INSTRUCTED
with mucus, the coughing is an
effort of nature to relieve the lungs and
that is the first and most important
thing to be done in treating Il cold.
The lungs should be relieved and the
sccretions opened. Which is the best ac-
complished by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is the only prepare
ton in use that will cause the expulsion
of mucus from the air cells of the lungs.
Ii also renders the ucu less tenacious
and easier TO eXpectOrate and opens the
sccretions, aiding nature in relieving the
lungs and freeing the system of all NOR
bid matter atlcctually curing the cold.
1t acts in perfect harmony with nature
n is the only preparation III common
use that does. Natures way Is to open
the sccretions, render the mucus less
tenacious and easier to c~Xpectorate and
relieve the lungs and that is precisely
the effect of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. You ask: How do we know
that is natures way" Because If your
system is strong enough to stand 1t
nature, will in time relieve it of the
cold without the aid of any medicine
and that is just the way it goes about it,
but many an Iron constitution" has
been severity rackcd by leaving nature
alone and nnaided to do the work. No
one can afford to neglect a cold, as
catarrh and chronic bronchitis are
caused by neglected colds. When a per
son has q cold the mucus membrane
lining the air passages OF the head,
throat and lungs is intlamed, the intlam'
nation however is acute" and al be
cured, if not cured but kept up by
the cold or by a succession of colds
which IS avery common occurrence, the
inflammation becomes chronic, and II
in the head, is known rs catarrh; if in
the wind pipe and branches Of il eX'
tending to all parts Of the lungs it Is
called chronic bronchitis. Neither cat.
arrh nor chronic bronchitis can be per
manently cured, as when apparently
cured, n cold VIII bring them or
again and every succeeding cold will
aggravatc them. These are facts which
no observing person can deny. 1t is OF
the utmost Importance that every cold
be cured rs quickly rs possible after
the first symptoms appear and it has
been ~abundently proven that there is
no medicine that will cure a cold in
less time than Chamberlain's Cougl
: Remedy, besides it leaves the system il
as health condition as it was bcfor,
The cold was contracted.

1t occurs to us with tremendous force
that, if there should ever be anothe,
war between any of the leading nations
OF ne world, the population of the

bombs and all the diabolical enginery

might just as well put an end to himself
In n decent private manner as to go to
war and get blown into five or six hun
dred pieces. With such events trans
piring all around him, you will readily
see how hard it would be for a man to
keep himself collected.
1t is very plain, therefore, that the old
fashioned method of arguing important
questions at issue between nations is
out of date. War has had its day. 1t
has become altogether too much of a
science to be agreeable. Now what is
going to be done about it? Govern
ments and peoples will continue to
quarrel, we may presume, until the mil
lennium arrives, and there must be some
method of settlIng these differences more
conclusive than talk. There will still
have to be some sort of fighting done,
though men do it, metaphorically speak
ing, with N hand tied behind their
backs. The great need of the hour,
therefore, is some substitute for war

The division craze is rapidly sub,ii
ing, and the admission Of the territory
as a whole is now loudly called for.
The result Of the late vote upon the
division question has served to materi-
ally change public sentiment. which is
very clearly evidenced by the present
unmistakable tone Of the territorial
press. The following taken from the
Deadwood Times is submitted by way
ofillustration
"a movement was started yesterday
looking TO a representation of the city
and Hills in the Aberdeen convention
Partisan politics cut no figure whatever,
and will not, we believe, at any stage OF
proceedings. A number Of prominent
republicans as well as democrats, are
interested in the movement, which has,
undoubtedly, the sympathy of a major
ity in the Hills, as well as in the terri.
tory. Congress may have the right to
deny us division and statehood. but it
cannot consistently, AT least, nor would
1t be good policy TO-, refuse us admission
as n whole. The great argument adj
vanced by the opposition has been that
the people of the territory did not
know what the people of the territory
wanted" The late election unmistak-
ably declared that they do not want
division. Now let us as emphatically
assert that statehood for Dakota as a
whole, is earnestly demanded"
